Lenny is a 2 year old Mix-Breed in Burnsville, MN, who needs $2,000 for treatment for tick fever and enucleation.

When rescuers from Baw Baw Animal Welfare first found Lenny, the sight was almost too painful to bear. Both of his eyes had been pushed out of their sockets — a level of cruelty and suffering no animal should ever experience. He was blind, weak, and in excruciating pain, unable even to stand.

Near his ear, a deep wound was infested with maggots — evidence that he had been left to suffer alone for days. At the veterinary clinic, Lenny’s bloodwork revealed the extent of his condition: a dangerously high white blood cell count indicating a severe infection, anemia from prolonged illness, and a tick-borne blood parasite called Babesiosis.

The medical team immediately began treatment for infection and tick fever, and he is now under continuous monitoring. Thanks to their care, Lenny is starting to stabilize — but he still faces a long road ahead. Once he is strong enough, he will need a delicate enucleation surgery to remove both damaged eyes and finally end his pain.

Lenny’s courage and will to live are extraordinary. After all he’s endured, he deserves a second chance — one filled with safety, love, and comfort instead of suffering.
